Returning on January 3rd (at 8 pm ET), MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 channels its inner "Squid Game" during the opening 10 minutes.
With only hours to go until Emmy Award-winning host RuPaul and mainstay judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison officially kick off the 17th season of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race, how do you feel about a chance to check out the opening 10 minutes? Because that's exactly what we have waiting for you above – and don't forget that global pop star Katy Perry is on tap as the premiere guest judge when the hit reality competition series returns on Friday, January 3rd (8:00 pm ET/PT). As for the opening moments that you're about to check out? Well, we don't want to spoil anything but a few clues.
